Continuum modeling of myxobacteria clustering
In this paper we develop a continuum theory of clustering in ensembles of self-propelled inelastically colliding rods with applications to collective dynamics of common gliding bacteria Myxococcus xanthus. A multiphase hydrodynamic model that couples densities of oriented and isotropic phases is described. This model is used for the analysis of an instability that leads to spontaneous formation...
متن کاملAn age-structured continuum model for myxobacteria
Myxobacteria are social bacteria, that can glide in 2D and form counter-propagating, interacting waves. Here we present a novel age-structured, continuous macroscopic model for the movement of myxobacteria. The derivation is based on microscopic interaction rules that can be formulated as a particle-based model and set within the SOH (Self-Organized Hydrodynamics) framework. The strength of thi...
متن کاملTwo continuum models for the spreading of myxobacteria swarms.
We analyze the phenomenon of spreading of a Myxococcus xanthus bacterial colony on plates coated with nutrient. The bacteria spread by gliding on the surface. In the first few hours, cell growth is irrelevant to colony spread. In this case, bacteria spread through peninsular protrusions from the edge of the initial colony. We analyze the diffusion through the narrowing reticulum of cells on the...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of Myxobacteria Swarming Behavior
We present a cell-based model to simulate the swarming behavior of various mutants of myxobacteria. Computational complexity is often known to be one of the biggest obstacles in simulating such biological system as there are too many interacting individuals involved in the system. We derive the scaling law for our model, which together with the concept of superindividuals, enable us to perform ...
متن کاملOn Modeling Complex Collective Behavior in Myxobacteria
This paper reviews recent progress in modeling collective behaviors in myxobacteria using lattice gas cellular automata approach (LGCA). Myxobacteria are social bacteria that swarm, glide on surfaces and feed cooperatively. When starved, tens of thousands of cells change their movement pattern from outward spreading to inward concentration; they form aggregates that become fruiting bodies. Cell...
